Academics

From four years of theology and dual (college) credit classes, to a broad-base of rigorous college preparatory curriculum and electives allowing girls to explore their passions through courses like digital publishing and oceanography, DSHA has long tradition of academic excellence, leading to 100% of students attending college annually. The 13:1 faculty to student ratio allows for an environment where students evolve into articulate, critical thinkers over the course of four years.

Faith Formation

Rooted in Salvatorian service and sponsored by the Sisters of the Divine Savior, DSHA offers multiple opportunities for girls to grow as spiritual individuals and as young women leaders in the Church. A thriving, student-driven Campus Ministry, daily opportunities for prayer and worship, 22,000+ hours of student service each year, and eight semesters of theology combine to allow for an integrated faith formation for each girl.

Whole-Person Education

DSHA is committed to a progressive, innovative, and integrated approach to education. Highly intentional about all aspects of the high school experience, we recognize the imperative to combine strong academics and superb college preparation with a deliberate and successful commitment to the development of the whole person – intellectual, spiritual, physical, social and emotional. Woven into both the curriculum and cocurricular program, this approach makes a life-long impact on the formation of each student.

Athletics

Committed to athletic excellence, teamwork, leadership, service to others and sportsmanship, the DSHA Athletic Department offers 15 sports, represented by 37 teams. With 7 national title-winning teams and 23 WIAA state championships, Dasher athletics have earned a competitive reputation in the state of Wisconsin. With over 60% of the student body participating – from our recent state championship-winning soccer, basketball and volleyball teams, to our ski or rugby teams – there is truly a place for everyone who wishes to compete.

Support DSHA

The DSHA experience would not be possible without the time, talents, and resources of our volunteers and donors. Your generosity is transformative in helping us realize our vision as a school: to be recognized as the premier choice for a girl seeking to grow into her full potential as a woman of faith, heart and intellect.

French Club

Students in the French Club have the opportunity to participate in a variety of French cultural activities involving art, cuisine, fashion, films, holiday traditions, and more. It is not necessary to be a French student to join. The club’s goal is to promote understanding and appreciation of the language, culture, and people of France and other francophone countries. The group also sponsors a young girl from Haiti through a charitable organization.

The girls in French Club grow into a close community, and being a leader of this club has helped me to become a leader in other things, as well.

Sarah, Class of 2017, Whitefish Bay

French Club is not only rewarding by teaching its members about culture in Europe, but we also try cool French dishes and begin many of our Wednesdays with delicious French food. French Club is a great way to further any student's French education even if they don't take French just because it is a fun way to implement a little bit of culture into your life!
